34 Creative Magazine Covers to Inspire

Literally a number of magazines are published each month, but only a few make it to the mainstream. Have you ever wondered why? This is because the ones who do not make it to the mainstream lack quantity or quality. One major thing to be kept in mind while designing a magazine is its cover page. Magazines aren’t like brochure templates where you have different focus points. If this cover page is not attractive or catchy, or is not related to the content of the magazine then it will not create the urge amongst buyers to purchase or even go through the magazine.

It is the covers of these magazines that create the impulse, that uncontrollable urge to grab hold of the magazine and flip it open.

In this article I am showcasing a list of 34 really creative Magazine covers for you. These covers are not only creative but truly inspiring which will instill the urge in any one to pick up a copy. But now it’s your time to judge the list.
